I'm on a new diabetes med which my doctor said "oh yeah, and weight loss is a side effect," before I reminded him that I've got disordered eating from prior medical abuse and I've made good progress on it, so let's not undo that...

... but then I couldn't figure out why I had constant headaches until my wife pointed out I was barely eating and kept sugar crashing, too. Apparently the reason that people lose weight on this is because it turns off your hunger signals! So I wasn't ever feeling hungry and my food intake had dropped ridiculously.

I dunno, man, that seems like something you should have mentioned, dude, since it's a known thing about this class of drugs.

Anyway, uh, yeah, make sure you ask about known issues with hunger signals or loss of appetite with some of these new diabetes drugs. You don't want to end up accidentally starving yourself.

(I'm fine; we've added some precautions and new routines.)

Re the "ask a bodybuilder" thing: I have some friends who lowkey lift, and one of them described a "macro-friendly" dessert recipe they'd seen (with a tone of mockery). My immediate thought was "eating disorder For Him", to which both friends agreed that "yeah, no, ask any professional bodybuilder how they get in shape for shows and they know it's dysfunctional"

Yeah, the behavior that bodybuilders use when on a cut (losing weight and getting lean for a show/season) is absolutely not a healthy or sustainable approach to food; generally they know this and they are aware that there are some times of year when they're going to be functionally starving themselves (and dehydrating themselves - they will absolutely skip water in the days before a show so they have more visible veins and muscle striations) but actually what I was talking about there went in the other direction (bulking rather than cutting). It's really really really really hard to put on weight if your body doesn't want to put on weight. It's really hard to keep that weight on. It's hard to gain muscle and it's easy to lose it. And I know plenty of people who are naturally very thin who have struggled to put on weight.

But we only really present one side of this equation and I think it's worthwhile to talk about both. Not in an "oh skinny people are oppressed too" way, but in an "look actually changing your body composition requires a level of effort that is bugfuck insane to ask of people and if you wouldn't ask a thin person to put on ten pounds of muscle because of the effort that would require, why are you comfortable telling a fat person to lose fifty pounds in spite of the effort that requires?" way.

I don’t know if this is appropriate for your ask box but id just like to acknowledge that as a trans person who would be significantly happier if I where about 100 pounds heavier. I’m excited for the day I feel like I’m injecting my t into fat and not down to my bone

hey that's okay, weight can be a huge milestone for a lot of people in transition and expressing themselves. having more fat tissue can make the medicine affect the body better for many people, for some they metabolize it best that way. as someone who has been fat my whole life and has not had any damage to my health from it. i appreciate when i see people look forward to gaining weight, because i think so many of us forget that some people need to put on weight, and encouraging and celebrating that is huge.

gaining weight is not evil. my best friend has crohns disease and losing weight for them is terrifying. i hope you are able to reach a weight that is more comfortable for you, and for taking your hormones as well. you can always look into topical gels if it is too uncomfortable, or you may be able to switch needles or formulations, but either way, i wish you good luck in your journey, and i hope everything goes well with your transition!

JACKET

No outbreak Joel Miller x f!reader

Drabble: Joel’s jacket got too small for him.

Tw: 18+ mdni, allusions to smut, fluff, weight talk, Joel gained weight and we love it, swearing, pet names ‘daddy’, ‘baby’, leather kink? idk

A/n: sometimes I see a picture and can’t rest until I write something based on it😅 thank you @iamasaddie for the pic and the inspiration😘 Big ‘Heyyy!’ to the Queen of Chubby!P-Boys @beefrobeefcal 🙌

Word count: 560

“Oh, fuck!”

“What is it?” you ask with worry in your voice walking into the room. You find Joel standing in front of the mirror moving his arms back and forth. He’s wearing his brown leather jacket, unzipped over his grey t-shirt.

“Look, my jacket doesn’t fit me anymore. I got too big!” he complains not tearing his eyes away from his reflection. His brows are furrowed and he looks genuinely upset. He drops his arms in frustration and you rush to comfort him with a deep sigh.

You stand behind him and put your arms on his biceps covered by the soft material of the jacket. Your palms glide up and down his arms in a calming gesture. It’s a really nice jacket. You always loved how he looked wearing it. Completely hidden from the mirror by Joel’s huge frame you peek from behind his shoulder, searching his eyes in the mirror.

“It’s ok, Joel, we’ll get you a new one.”

“Yeah, but… I liked this one. I should go on a diet,” he sighs, crossing his arms on his chest and you notice the fabric on his back stretch dangerously close to ripping.

“That blue shirt you like is also too tight by the way," he complains to your reflection, “This jacket was always so comfortable and now if I zip it up, look..” he turns to you, closing the jacket as it stretches around his stomach. He’s pointing at his middle with wide eyes and of course you feel sorry for him but the sight of his body in tight leather does something unexpected to you. Your heartbeat increases and you feel tingling between your thighs.

You put your hands on his soft leather-clad stomach and glide them up to his broad chest.

“You look good,” you whisper, staring at his frame so broad under your palms.

Joel notices the change in your behavior and smirks, shaking his head at you, “Oh, baby…”

“I’m sorry that you’re upset but…I love that you got a little bigger, daddy.”

He hears the pet name and his pupils blow out as his hands find your waist. He moves closer, pressing his body against yours and wrapping his arms around you. The mixture of leather and Joel hits your nostrils and you lean into him enjoying this smell as your hands snake around his middle and clasp behind his back. You tilt your head up and find him looking down at you, his gaze dark and hungry.

“You want daddy to get soft and squishy, huh?” he asks with a smile as his gaze slides down to your parted lips. You practically purr as a response and he leans down to kiss you. You melt into his embrace as your lips slowly caress each other. Joel groans into your mouth and pushes his hips into yours pressing his hardness against your belly.

“Let’s get you to bed, baby,” he mumbles and bends down to take you into his arms. As soon as he lifts you, one arm under your knees and the other supporting you behind your back, you hear a loud ripping sound. You both freeze gaping at each other before bursting into laughter.

“Now you definitely need a new jacket,” you giggle, as he heads upstairs carrying you to the bedroom in his big strong arms.

Thank you for reading!💖

Weight gain that sneaks up on ya 😵‍💫

like. I’ve been not exactly worried, but expecting a drop in my weight because I’ve been working a lot these last few weeks and not had time to really eat the way I’d like to (I unfortunately often skip breakfast on work days and subsist on one or two snacks and a fuck ton of soda through my shift) but like. Nope she is slowly but surely climbing all the same!!

[dustsculptures]

when i was like 13 my dad told someone else i’d be pretty if i lost weight and i overheard and it was the first time i’d heard him say i was pretty so it filled me with pride and confidence in my looks

fucked up and incorrect!

[netscapenavigator-official]

I saw someone describe Nikocado Avocado's weight loss as a "Twink Rebirth," and I don't think I'm ever gonna be the same, again.

[naomiknight-17]

Ok so Chilchuck is a little tall for a Half-foot so he has to watch his weight carefully, yeah?

Has no-one told this man that alcohol is fuckin' BURSTING with calories?? And the man drinks like a fish

You're not allowed to blame Senshi's excellent cooking for your weight gain, Chilchuck

[metanarrates]

having appetite issues is so evil bc my ideal transition goal is to become whatever the lesbian equivalent of a bear is but every time i experience one (1) stressful event my body is like oopsie! it seems you've gained five pounds over the last few months while you were doing well! what if we just... shut down the part of your brain that makes you hungry and makes food appetizing :)))) you don't need that :))))))

[th1nblogs]

People will be like "of course I don't believe in exorcisms, studies show almost all of the people who claim to benefit end up relapsing in a few months and sometimes they're even worse" but then they'll say "why wouldn't I believe dieting works, who cares if studies show 99% of the people who try dieting get worse health outcomes than people who don't bother, clearly losing weight is a healthy treatment for chronic health problems so dieting is good"

Just learned that I won't have to give up my dreams of adventure like hiking or even just exploring cities if I can get a good wheelchair. Unfortunately, all-terrain wheelchairs like the Grit brand run upwards of $3,000! My insurance doesn't cover much for a chair, and only if you're almost completely bed bound. I wish I could go hiking as is, but the reality is, I just don't have the pain threshold or stamina as is.

Being disabled is to fucking expensive. I just want a good quality of life like my abled peers, including my fiancee who has lost around 100lbs with her seemingly endless stamina.

I really really appreciate the posts about fat acceptance and stuff. I used to be pretty underweight but I've definitely gained weight (and muscle too I'm sure) on HRT, the way it sits/distrubuted on me is something that is hard to see sometimes and there's a lot of parental commentary about fat people that needs to be worked on.

hey, you're welcome! i'm glad you agree

gaining weight isn't always bad, in fact for many people, it can be an outright blessing. people can have a wide variety of conditions that can lead them to being chronically underweight, and putting on even a few pounds was seen as a huge accomplishment and a safety net. my best friend is this way

even if it's not required for one's health, putting on weight isn't inherently bad. every person's body has a range in which it attempts to naturally sit for their baseline weight. this will vary greatly from person to person based off of activity levels, hormone levels, genetics, individual dietary needs vs. dietary intake, digestive issues, eating disorders, allergies, food intolerance, neurodivergence, developmental disorders, and more.

the way i see it is it becomes very obvious to a person when their weight has actually come to negatively affect them. this will be marked in a decline in energy, feeling fatigued and malaise most of the time, headaches, difficulty getting out of bed, increased chronic pain including pain while standing or walking, breathing difficulties, difficulty walking/moving long distances for reasons not due to joint or connective tissue health, becoming pre/diabetic suddenly if one was not before, and/or other health complications that were not present before the amount of weight was gained

most fat, chubby, etc. people are sitting well within the healthy range for their body without realizing it. our bodies are great at telling us what they need it's just hard to listen when we're busy, exhausted, and/or neurodivergent. many people have a good idea of what their body needs but get talked or shamed out of doing what's right for them. parents, like you said, are especially uptight and strict about weight for seemingly no reason.

i've always been fat my whole life. once i reached my teen years i began to hover around the 300 lb range and that's where i've always been. my mom was fat and so was my dad, and both of their families. my mom projected so much of her fatphobia on to me it was unreal. she would critcize me any time i wanted a snack by asking "you're eating again?" and other dumb shit. children are growing and active, they need a lot of food, especially for good brain function (yes, our brains need fuel, revolutionary concept, i know)

i don't understand why parents desperately NEED their children to be physically attractive to them. can we talk about this? i know it's uncomfortable but this is a huge parental issue. i am SO tired of hearing parents go ON AND ON about how "beautiful" or "handsome" their children are. it's extremely creepy, there's no reason to focus on their appearance like that. some parents become SO distressed when their children are not conventionally attractive, as if it makes them less attractive by proxy. it's insanely creepy. a child's conventional beauty or lack there of should be of no concern to a parent- why do some parents obsess over this? it gives the child severe body image issues and it's not a good level of vanity to project on to a kid

anyway, it's okay to be fat, especially if you find you're not struggling with pain or mobility. some people will have pain and mobility issues no matter what weight they're at. everyone's different. someone's weight is their own concern and nobody else's, unless there is medical significance in which case it is between them and their medical team. not every fat person has health issues due to their weight, in fact, most do not. it's okay to let your body be the weight it wants to be

nobody should have to constantly feel like they have to be fighting their own biology just to look "more attractive". people are attractive when they look the most like their real, natural selves. it's way more flattering and it's better for the individual. don't expect other people to go through hell just to look "good". just let people be themselves. let people feel good, and feel good about themselves. worry about yourselves when it comes to appearance

anyway, thank you for the feedback, i really appreciate it! i will always be here for other fat folk because i've gone through many interesting situations with diet and health and my weight always sits around the 300 mark give or take 20 lbs in either direction. my lowest weight as an adult was 260 lbs. my highest was 360. muscle tissue plays a huge factor in this right now for me. i have clothes in my closet that range from literally Small all the way up to XXXL and they all fit me just fine. weight isn't as big of a deal as people think it is, it's a very neutral thing most of the time

I don't NEED nor WANT calorie counter/weight loss apps, I want to keep track of my health via a virtual Senshi app that I can put meals in and gives me tips on how to work better with what I have! I don't want to have a "goal weight" I want to be sturdy and big and healthy!
